July 13, 2008 - Cruisin' the Mexican Riviera

[munchkinsmom]

Sorry can't help you there I'm not a talented designer I like the idea of shirts though to spot other DISers.

Hi Everyone!

On our last trip on the Magic, all of us DISers decided to wear lime green colored t-shirts of our choice. Some opted to put a design on their shirts, others didn't. We didn't have designs on ours, but it was so easy to spot fellow DISers! It was so neat to see all of us congregate in one corner of the cruise terminal!

BTW...I bought my DD and DS's lime-green t-shirts at our local Michael's Arts and Crafts store. They have them in both adult and children's sizes and they were of good quality and not expensive at all. One way to personalize the shirt is to use an Iron-on T-Shirt Transfer.

HTH someone!!! See you all in July!

Hi Everyone!

Hi Munchkinsmom!

I second the T-Shirt idea, it made meeting other DisBoards contacts really easy.

Exactly 2 months until we sail! Yeah! (Gotta get me Mr. Smee costume ready!)

 

[DMMarla07860]

I don't even have to make a t-shirt for people to see me if you see someone decked in everything that says Nets that would most likely be me

in the cruise in 2006 on the magic I know some people wore leis so everyone could be spoted and we picked a time the first day and a place for everyone to meet each other I like the t-shirt idea, but I think leis could also work maybe find some lime green ones or a color and everyone who wants to gets them

I ordered my from ebay at this ladies site http://stores.ebay.com/GraceSkies-Gift-World. She has a couple of different kinds, I got the Mickey and Minnie one. She calls them wall door hanging rather than fish extender. Since I don't sew I figured it was easier to buy one than make one.

Thanks , I am going to ebay and see about ordering one!!!

Hello Everyone!
Just thought I would check in ad read some posts for our cruise in July.
Is anyone else here doing a Magic Back 2 Back of July 13 and July 20?

Lucky You!!!! That is awesome going on back to back cruises...Do you get to stay in the same cabin or will you have to move out and move back in ?

 

[Barbossa]

I believe you can stay on the ship between back-to-back cruises, no need to unpack.

 

[DMMarla07860]

So how is everyone hoep all is going great. Cruise is getting closer and I can hardly wait and hope to meet all you on the ship

We get to stay in the same room!!!! No Packing! YAY!

Usually we have to walk down though customs (after everyone is just about off the ship) and then about an hour later we can go back on board. Pretty easy. Some people say you do not have to get off the ship but when we did it last time we did.

My birthday is on the 16th of July so I get to celebrate my birthday on board!!! YAY!!!!

Is there any one else doing a B2B???

Hi Rene,
Randi's Happy Horses is in Mazatlan not PV. We are going to ride with her. why not do the zip line in PV?

Hi Carole
Opps. Can't keep my ports straight!! Thanks for the correction.
I have a tour of Mazatlan planned, so happy horses are out for us.

The dolphin swim is booked for us in PV. If my daughter still wants to do that, we'll keep the reservation.

Did you all see the Magic come thru the Panama Canal this morning? I happened to be on-line and saw it. Very cool!!

Hi Rene'!
I think that a lot of people don't realize that excursion experiences can be completely different depending on when you go, your family make-up, and who is leading the excursion. In other words, people who went on May 7th will definitely NOT have the exact same experience as people who go on the same excursion on May 14th! Another way to look at it is a family with 2 adults and 2 toddlers is going to have a completely different experience than a family with a single parent and 2 teenagers. Lots of factors can influence how an excursion goes. So, please don't let those flamers upset you. I appreciate hearing about everyone's experiences so I can make a good decision for my own family.

Hi Deb
Thanks for your words of encouragement. Glad to hear the info can be seen as helpful. These boards have provided so much help in planning our vacations. I really enjoy learning from other people.

Just checked out the website www.porttime.com and the Vision of the Seas will be at all the ports the same time we are.
Just thought I'd pass it along.

Hey Gang,

I finally came up with a simple design for my sailing group of 12. I spelled out the word MAGIC on the front in nautical flags and the words (in the Walt Disney font, of course):
Friends & Family
Making Magical Memories
July 13 - 20, 2008

It looks really great, if I do say so myself! The only problem is that the white on the nautical flags didn't print so it is Dis green where the white should be. Feel free to use the idea if you wish.

On a side note: I will be wearing mine tomorrow to see the Magic off for the first time. I hope to see some of you!

This may sound stupid but how do you get the Walt Disney font.
I got some ideas off off the DISIGN thread but I don't know how to use the font.
Got the Tshirts and I am soooooo ready.....HELP

Cathy, here ya go! Have fun!

i have today off but have to work tomorrow.
The countdown in the house has us on a daily basis.

watching the DVD regularly is not calming us down either.

Just a little while longer then

7 of us went to see the ship off today. There was something so magical (pun intended) about being there and knowing that it is just a matter of time.
